Hi Jimmy, People on the Google Maps forum may have other input, but here are my comments:
- the static maps api supports markers with letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), small google chart icons, or custom markers (up to 64x64). As such, you will not be able to get a marker with a five digit zip code on it unless you go down the route of custom images for markers. - the static maps api supports polylines, but I don't think you'll want to "point" to outside information using them - the static maps api doesn't support a JSON format that will help you create an HTML MAP for use with tooltips My suggestion would be to switch to the real maps api, if possible, because you can do this quite easily with javascript If not possible, the only solution I can think of (without using custom image markers that contain the zip code numbers) would be to label your zip code markers A, B, C, etc. and create a legend the matches marker letters with zip codes (e.g. A = zip code 1, B = zip code 2, etc.) Here's a quick example: (static map) http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=400x400&markers=label:A|33612&markers=label:B|33620&markers=label:C|33647&sensor=false http://tinyurl.com/2vqhrd6 (legend) http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=lxy&chs=400x18&chdl=%28A%29+33612|%28B%29+33620|%28C%29+33647&chdlp=b&chco=FE6256 http://tinyurl.com/2w38q2h Good luck, Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Chart API" group.
